研究目的
Investigating the effect of introducing trifluoromethyl to strengthen hydrogen bonds for high efficiency organic solar cells.
研究成果
The introduction of trifluoromethyl to strengthen hydrogen bonds between DTBO and IEICO-4F significantly improves the performance of ternary organic solar cells by enhancing π-π stacking, charge extraction, and reducing charge recombination. This strategy also proves effective in other non-fullerene acceptor systems, demonstrating its potential for achieving higher efficiency in organic solar cells.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effect of hydrogen bonds on π-π stacking and charge transfer in ternary organic solar cells, but does not explore the long-term stability or scalability of the devices. The research is limited to specific donor and acceptor materials, and the findings may not be universally applicable to all organic solar cell systems.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of a novel small molecule DTBO with trifluoromethyl to strengthen hydrogen bonds with IEICO-4F, a non-fullerene acceptor. The impact of hydrogen bonds on the electrostatic potential and π-π stacking in the active layer was analyzed.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study used PTB7-Th as the donor and IEICO-4F as the acceptor in the binary system, with DTBO added as the third component in the ternary system.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilized Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, UV-vis absorption spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), and space-charge-limited-current (SCLC) method for characterization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The ternary solar cells were fabricated with inverted architectures. The weight ratio of PTB7-Th to IEICO-4F was kept at 1:
5:5, with varying amounts of DTBO added. Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzed the impact of hydrogen bonds on charge generation, transfer, and recombination, as well as the effect on π-π stacking and molecular packing.
